This unit has been established by young entrepreneur Gourav Sharma, S/o Tilak Raj Sharma VPO Sherpur Bala, Tehsil Hiranagar, District Kathua. CAO Vijay Kumar Upadhaya and District Officer Agricultural (Ext) speaking on the occasion said thethis unit will not only generate employment but also help to produce an alternative to chemical fertilizer.
In today’s time organic farming is the huge demand of the organic community due to the hazardous effect of chemical fertilizer in the human body, they added.
